Im new too but Im glad to pass on what I know-some of the "seniors" here might want to add to this

I bought the ketosticks at Walmart-best price as I see it! After about 24 -48 hrs of low-carbing it our bodies go into ketosis. The urine sticks will tell you how much ketosis youre in from Negative (none at all), small, moderate, or strong.

What Ive been told is that the amount isnt as important as just being in SOME state of ketosis.

I usually test first thing in the am. Not sure what the rule is about that.

Also, to save money-someone suggested cutting the strips in half-so you end up getting twice as much for your money-I did that and it works fine-And Im all about saving money!!! I love this trick!

I guess when we are in ketosis we are burning fats-not sure of the science behind it but thats were WE want to be!

Hope this helps! L
